The Shakhtar coach has confirmed that the
Brazilian will be on his way to Bayern Munich this
summer and has tipped him to be a success
Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu expects Douglas
Costa to reach Arjen Robben 's heights when he
completes his expected move to Bayern Munich .
The Brazil international - currently on Copa
America duty in Chile - looks set to make the
switch to the Allianz Arena after spending
six seasons with the Ukrainian side.
While Bayern are yet to confirm the deal, Lucescu
did little to play down the rumours, suggesting
Costa can make the same impact Netherlands
winger Robben has with the Bavarian giants.
"It seems normal to me that they wanted him so
much," he told Dolce Sport .
"Inter were also in the chase for Douglas - the boy
can be the new Robben!
"He's only 24-years-old and could reach
Robben's level in the coming years."
Lucescu was also quizzed on the future of striker
Luiz Adriano, who scored 21 goals in all
competitions for the Ukrainian side last term.
"Luiz Adriano does not want to extend his
contract. We have agreed a fee with Al Ahli, but the
player does not want to go to the Emirates,"
Lucescu added.
"But maybe they will compete with other clubs
such as Roma, Milan, Monaco, those who have
wanted him in the winter.
"He has six months left on his contract, but it
would be good for us to get some money for him."
